Abstract: A device for a household appliance for determining a transport condition of the household appliance includes a data processing unit that stores and/or evaluates a measurement value from a sensor associated or associatable with the household appliance in order to determine the transport condition; and an energy storage device electrically conductively coupled or couplable to the data processing unit to supply the data processing unit with electrical energy while the household appliance is off.

Abstract: A method for controlling a warming device includes: providing a system including the warming device and a household appliance, the system configured to at least one of process and prepare at least one of a beverage and a food; and automatically turning on a heating element of the warming device by a selection of a future activation time at which the household appliance is switched from a standby state to an ON state, the selection being made using the household appliance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a household appliance including at least one control element and at least one display element, the control element(s) being able to be used to select programs of which, in each case, at least one program parameter is settable via the control element(s), and further including a program control including a data processing means and a data memory; the control and display elements as well as the data memory being in data communication with the data processing means. In order to improve clarity and to allow user-modified programs to be called up repeatedly, a setting of the program parameter(s) is assigned to a user identification, storable under this user identification, and able to be called up by the selection of a program made via the control element(s) (6, 10).

Abstract: A system for connecting a household appliance to an external apparatus for the purpose of parameterizing, error diagnosing and remotely maintaining the former by an exchange of electromagnetic radiation signals consisting, on the one hand, of separated sequences of first search codes made up of a plurality of code words differing from each other transmitted to receive an answer signal consisting of a single code word and generated in response to a predetermined number of transmitted first search codes being in conformity with second search codes stored at the device receiving at least a predetermined number of sequences of the first search code.

Abstract: A household appliance includes at least one display element, at least one control element, and a program control module. The control element can: set and select a number of user identifications; set a first program parameter setting for a first program sequence of a first program and for a second program sequence of a second program; assign the first program parameter setting to a first user identification; store the first program parameter setting under the first user identification; select, under the first user identification, the first program and thereby retrieve the first program parameter setting; and select, under the first user identification, the second program and thereby retrieve the first program parameter setting.
